As a result, the fourth-grade students engaged in the engineering design process to construct and test dam designs withthe community context in mind, grappled with the ethics of engineering, and offered alternativesolutions. This example demonstrates the power of connecting an engineering task to place, localhistory, and community and cultural contexts to increase relevance and importance for students.Other CRED tasks developed by teachers included areas of interest such as: designing a filtrationsystem to improve indoor air quality, developing a severe weather app to be used by teen drivers,creating a model of a

Engineering Education, 2024 Design Iterations as Material Culture Artifacts: A Qualitative Methodology for Design Education ResearchAbstractStudying design processes requires the researcher to move with the designer as they negotiate anaction-reflection cycle comprised of a multitude of relationships, including the designer’srelation to themselves, to human and more-than-human others, and to the beliefs, values, andassumptions that design us every day. This paper’s goal is to introduce a qualitative methodologyfor studying the complex relationality of design, particularly (but not exclusively) in anarchitectural design education context. This methodology has theoretical and methodologicalunderpinnings in Process Philosophy and
